Zia Consulting, Inc., the leading provider of Enterprise Content Management (ECM) and Document Capture solutions, announced today the launch of Easy Legal ECM solutions. Easy Legal ECM delivers document and records management for law firms and corporate legal departments that’s as simple as using email or file systems, with the power of enterprise-class CMS features and functionality.

Whether in an Am Law 100 law firm or a Fortune 500 corporate legal department, for many organizations the choice of a document management system has been limited to a small number of legacy vendors with complex and costly offerings that users are forced to accept, rather than working the way they want to work. The result is “ECM avoidance” with users finding ways around their ECM system–utilizing email, shared drives, or cloud technologies like Box.net and Dropbox.

Easy Legal ECM, powered by Alfresco and delivered by Zia Consulting, is an alternative to legacy ECM systems. Zia believes that when systems are easy-to-use and leverage existing tools like Office or Google Docs, the result is increased utilization and an improvement in control and compliance.

"When document and records management tools fit into the daily work habits of employees, legal organizations can reduce barriers to adoption, reduce duplication of efforts and errors with one central repository, and keep control of valuable data by reducing use of external tools. Zia’s Easy Legal ECM solutions combine our expertise in content management, intelligent document capture, enterprise integration, and enterprise mobility to help organizations transform document management and compliance," said Mike Mahon, President and CEO Zia Consulting.

Easy Legal ECM solutions deliver role-based legal case management with Alfresco Workdesk, enabling users to see the right content at the right time, based on their business role. Solution features include simple internal and external collaboration, email and Office integration, enterprise search, mobile matter management, simplified records management, and document migration tools. For more information on Easy Legal ECM solutions including webinar recordings and video demonstrations, visit http://www.ziaconsulting.com/legal-solutions/. Zia will present these solutions at the International Legal Technology Association’s IMAGINE Conference in Nashville, Tennessee, August 17 - 21, 2014.
